The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so "acid rain" is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.75 and standard deviations 0.50. What us probability of acid rain
